Indian Inclusive Tourism Anti-Poverty Model and Its Enlightenment for China
The tourism has become the one of the biggest economic support industries under the background of integration with the global economy in 21st century. As a big tourist destination country, India has created the most jobs by tourism industry in the world with substantial support of government. And also, India has been exploring the path of poverty reduction and achieving some success on pro-poor tourism. Based on the theory of inclusive growth and the case study of India, the paper discusses the enlightenment and innovation of its tourism antipoverty model and proposes the model of inclusive tourism. This model is based on the construction of support system by five aspects: state power sector, local governments, tourism-related businesses, civil society organizations, public opinion assessment. These five aspects are interactions and linkages to build a support system to help poor people get rid of poverty.

HARLEYVILLE, S.C. (AP) — An 80-year-old South Carolina double-amputee has died from his injuries after he was dragged from his wheelchair and attacked by four dogs, authorities said Tuesday.
Carlton Freeman of Harleyville was driving his motorized wheelchair on May 8 when he was attacked, said Maj. John Garrison, a spokesman for the Dorchester County Sheriff's Department.
An incident report said Freeman told authorities that he was pulled from his wheelchair during the attack in the community about 50 miles northwest of Charleston. He said dogs were biting him and pulling on his clothes.
Coroner Chris Nesbit said Tuesday that Freeman, who had both legs amputated at the knee from an injury years ago, died Sunday of the injuries in the dog attack.
"Upon my examination of Mr. Freeman, it is a wonder that this gentleman was able to hang on as long as he did," Nesbit said in a statement. "He had bites and lacerations from his legs to the top of his head. This is very sad story, but even worse that Mr. Freeman was basically helpless to the attack, due to being a bi-lateral amputee."
Garrison said that officers captured three of the four dogs. They have been taken to an animal shelter while deputies are still trying to locate the fourth.
A police report said three of the dogs belonged to a woman in the neighborhood and there were traces of blood found on them. Authorities have not made any arrests.
It's the second fatal dog mauling in the county in a little over a year.
In April 2012, a 2-month-old child was killed and dismembered by a dog in his family's home as his father slept in a nearby room. The family dog pulled the child from where is sat in a baby swing.

EV Rider Escape DX Power Chair
In stock
EV RiderFREE Shipping!
What our customers say:
Received bike in a reasonable amount of time. The assembly instructions are very vague. I'm pretty handy and I had to find a YouTube video to help with assembly. If you're not very mechanically inclined I would definitely suggest taking it to a shop for assembly. Other than that, bike seems to run great so far. Definitely very sharp looking.
Due to the riots, UPS had some problems with shipment. Once the bike got here and was assembled, I was really happy that I chose to buy it. It is a great bike and a great ride. The representative, Jonathan, was very helpful and pleasant to deal with. All in all, I'm very happy with this bike and this company.
love it so light weight
No problems with trike or ordering it. Very pleasant experience.
Great product for the first time "e-biker!" As my first e-bike, I found the assembly relatively easy. The delivery folks that Sure Scooters use were friendly, prompt (actually arrived a day early) and helped ensure the bike arrived fine. My rep kept me informed with what was going on with my sale, and made the transaction exceptionally smooth. As for the assembly process, if you get stuck anywhere (as the manufacturer's directions are not very explicit in some areas- certainly not the fault of Secure Scooters) just give them a call and they will help you along the way! I highly recommend Secure Scooters for this particular model!
As for the assembly process, freeing the bike from its' cage is ideal, with a second person which I didn't have present. But once free, you can find most of the accessories under the seat. I probably didn't notice this fact, because I wanted to keep the wrappings in place to prevent any scratches or damage. The keys (at least in my case) were left in the ignition or power switch. By turning the switch to the left, this unhooked the seat, revealing the tool kit, pedals, and charger. Personally, I think at the very least, the tool kit should have been outside the seat storage, but then if that also included the instruction book, how do you know where it is?! Thankfully, I already downloaded and printed the instructions and was able to use my own tools until I finally discovered the included ones.
I really like it. I have a lot of ride on pathway in Tempe. So fun time and good exercise
The experience with our representative, Jonathan, has been EXCELLENT !
The product has been EXCELLENT !
We are VERY pleased with every aspect of the interactions from this excepience.
We would best describe it as .... E X C E L L E N T !
I just bought my first tricycle! I'm so excited!!! Making the purchase on their website was so easy, it only took me minutes after I have decided on which model I wanted. Another thing that I loved about this company is that we don't pay for shipping or taxes, they do. That's amazing, so we know exactly what we'll end up paying since the beginning. Love that! I'm now waiting for the shipment and the actual product. I'll see how it goes and I'll leave another comment, just to conclude my review. 😉
Scooter is great !!! Very well made and Is
Real fast. Have had 3 scooters in past.
This is the best by far. Thank you
Surescooters.com nice folks !!!.
With the best of intentions all around, my special needs for an affordable trike to keep my considerably worn down and aging bones exercised and healthy wound up being a serious test for all. Thanks to Jonathan's truly remarkable tenacity and integrity, we made it through with the highest respect and appreciation. I highly recommend Jonathan and Sure Scooters. 5++ stars!
Jonathan was great. I drove him nuts.
Every thing went smooth and very
Professional. Thanks to a great Company.
Easy website. Helpful chat line. Competitive price. Waiting for delivery to use my E Wheels EW-M39.
I have six mobility scooters and, by far, this is my favorite! Over-sized chair, beautiful paint job, optional batteries brought me to 25 miles per charge, goes to sleep mode when I forget to shut it off. Extremely happy with this product, Shoprider, and Jonathan at Sure Scooters.
This is our 3rd scooter ordered from Jonathan. He is, without question, the best in the business. His knowledge of products and his superb people skills are why we don't even consider doing business elsewhere. We are now interested in a 2-seater...talk to
you soon, Jonathan!
Great bike. Low to ground yet not quite a recumbent. 3 speeds is a must. Should have ordered the black padded seat which includes arm rests. I have Parkinsons and the arms rests would have made it much easier to get out of.
I bought off the internet after great ,quick service from Jonathan. One week latter the trike was in my lane way built to my specs.
Local bike stores had nothing comparable. Good looking. Nylon wheels really standout.
This scooter has given me back my ability to get around! With 2 bad knees and a bad back, it really helps. And the price was great! Jonathan was a big help, especially when it arrived without a couple of the accessories I ordered. Now that I have those, I am completely satisfied. Also, I can take it apart in less than 2 minutes, put the 5 pieces in the back of our car, and put it back together quickly at the other end. I love it!
Received the bike faster than expected. Minimal set up, however my husband is really good with tools and all things mechanical. We got the blue color bike and it is gorgeous! The only issue we have found is that the product description stated that the bike would reach up to 25mph with throttle only when after fully charging the battery we have found that it tops out at precisely 20mph. Whereas we bought this one to keep up with my husband's Magnum Metro, this is a bit disappointing. The solid construction, excellent efficient design, quality gears, seat and brakes and foldability we feel make up for the discrepancy in top speed- although this should be corrected in the advertising as it is a substantial difference between what is promised and what is delivered.
Overall the best bang for the buck we have found so far. 👍🏻👍🏻
I was kinda kicking tires when I opened a chat with Jonathan. Some good info, and a sweet coupon code later, I scored an awesome ebike for an awesome-er price. That was a no brainer.
We have been enjoying our Trailmate Meteor Trikes very much. We needed bikes that were easy to get on and off of and comfortable to sit and ride on and they have been just what we needed. We got the 21 speed set up and we are happy to have the extra gearing. The only issue we have had was that we got the optional baskets and the pictures we had seen of them made them look fairly large, but they are really pretty small.
This compact scooter is durable easy to drive park and the automatic fold puts it over the top
Love my well built scooter. Jonathon is good at his job
I wish I had made this purchase sooner. I had my first outing at a Greek Festival. I wasn't sure if it could handle grass, but it did not disappoint me. It is very comfortable, and maneuvers easily. It still had plenty of battery life left after 3 hours.
I'll be able to enjoy life again!
good web site and easy to work around. Looking forward in riding the trike
This special needs trike made a big difference in the lives of the special kids at Lee County elementary school. It gave them a thrill to experience one of the pleasures that others enjoy every day.
This scooter is everything Jonathan said it would be. It's comfortable, portable, light enough for me to pick it up and put it in my car, reliable and surprisingly, as fast as a full-size scooter. It was a purchase I won't regret; I've visited places I couldn't have before and life is, once again, wonderful. Thank you, Jonathan, for giving great customer service and following up on all of my questions. You're the best!
I begin by telling all those considering the purchase of a mobility scooter to look no further than Sure Scooters. I dealt with Jonathan and am grateful beyond belief that I did. He could be the poster child for Customer Service. The model I bought was received with a defect and I immediately contacted Jonathan. He took over and saw to it that I was given a replacement without any question. Additionally, he monitored the progress with the manufacturer and kept me apprised every step of the way. When the replacement unit was ready to ship, Jonathan provided me with all the details; trucking company, day it was due to arrive at my door, tracking information, etc. I don't know much about Sure Scooters as a business but I do know that they surely must put great importance in customer satisfaction. And I hope they realize what a gem they have in Jonathan. I'm in my '60s and have been a part of the corporate world for over 40 years. In that time, I have never been so impressed by an individual. I would do business with Sure Scooters again in a heartbeat!
Jonathan made this purchase so easy and confident for me. I think the Margay special needs trike is a fabulous product and I know it will make the kids in my daughter's special ed class very happy and excited. As an added feature, the price can't be beat.
I was pleasantly surprised, Jonathan was awesome, very helpful, professional, and just spot on. The whole trans action was smooth, he was happy the give me a promo code, that saved me money "boohya!" And I got a confirmation e-mail first thing in the morning, my bike was on the truck, headed straight for me, "WouWho" 2"thumbs up for Surescooter, and their staff, I would suggest you give them a try, and I'm go'nna pimp them to my friends and family. Thx Surescooters for being awsome😍🤗😍
I actually ordered two the first one came no problems the second one another story the rubber pad on the floor was not glued. the seat pin was missing and the tubing plug was smashed I did call the service dept and they mailed everything to me now I can finally use it the first one was a gift

This site was easy to look around and explained things very good.

The scooter is fast on flat surface, but has little power to climb any incline. Will not climb handicap ramps

Top 20 Books Trading
Books are good for a general overview of the markets and trading concepts, trader biographies and anecdotal stories, and trading psychology, but by the very nature of their format, they are too limited and not dynamic enough to be relevant for very long.
Use them for a foundation, for ideas, but mostly for enjoyment. I think you will find that your trading will drastically improve that day you decided to stop looking for the latest trading book, and "write your own book" on trading.
As with every list, there will be disagreements. "Why is that book on the list?" "Why isn't that book on the list?" I picked 20 books that stood out for me as a trader, that were a #valueadd (or a #valueloss) for one reason or another. That doesn't even have to mean that they are about trading. For example, the "General Interest" section is made up of books that I think appeal to a trader's mindset.
With that in mind, feel free to add your picks to the "comments" section, along with a sentence or two as to why you liked (or hated) them.
By the way, I was too lazy to link all the books, but you can find them all at Amazon.
Old School:
The Market Wizards Series – Jack Schwager: Chances are you will find these books on the shelf of any serious trader. They are without a doubt the most comprehensive collection of interviews with superstar traders ever published. However, their dirty little secret is that although they capture perfectly a moment in time, they are extremely dated and will give you almost no insight into today's markets or how to trade them. Their value now is in showing how even the greatest traders initially struggled and often blew up (repeatedly) before becoming successful.
Stan Weinstein's Secrets For Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets – Stan Weinstein: This book was the first to quantify one of the most important concepts in trading; the four stages in which stocks move, which are the basing, advancing, topping, and declining stages. Despite the fact that the cover of this book has not been updated since it was published in 1988, stage analysis is still relevant today.
How to Make Money In Stocks – O'Neil: As an unnamed trader friend of mine recently said, all you need to do is review the charts in the first 150 pages of this book and you will be good to go. These charts along with O'Neil's annotations, give you a great foundation to understand the patterns stocks form before they go on massive runs.
Reminiscences of a Stock Operator – Edwin Lefevre: Tough call on this book, only because I don't think it is the Rosetta Stone of trading books like it is often described as. The language is dated and colloquial, which though strange, is actually part of its charm. There are definitely some foundational lessons for trading in this book, but you as the reader have to do the historical conversion in your head from venue's like "bucket shops," to today's market.
How I Made $2,000,000 in the Stock Market – Nicolas Darvas: This book should really be called, "How I Made$18,000,000 (Adjusted for Inflation) in the Stock Market," because that is how much it would be in today's dollars. That would be phenomenal for anybody, but for someone who did it while traveling the globe, in a pre-internet, computer, iPad, Smart phone world……while working as a professional dancer? Well that is just epic. His "Darvas Box" system, though crude and in need of adjustment to factor in today's HFT, is still a foundation of a solid trading style/discipline.
Trading Education:
The Stock Twits Edge – Howard Lindzon: Okay, before you accuse me of trying to kiss the ass of my blog overlords at StockTwits, let me just tell you that I was recommending this book publicly, way before I ever resurrected this blog, let alone was asked to join the network. This is the book I wish was written when I started trading 25 years ago. The irony though is that it could not really have been written until just recently. It is the "Market Wizards" for the retail trader, and more importantly, each chapter is written by someone who currently has an active presence on social media. Plus it's the only place you will ever see @The_Real_Fly write two whole pages without saying "fuck!"
The Trading Book – Anne-Marie Baiynd: I like Anne-Marie, but if she had asked me if it was a wise choice to add another trading book to the world, I would have advised against it. I would have been wrong. I was amazed at the scope of material that this book was able to cover, and do so in a meaningful way. Anne-Marie's economical (and often humorous) style, takes you right to the core of each concept, doing away with irrelevant and superfluous information. I don't think it is hyperbole to say it is an instant classic for the beginning/intermediate trader.
Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques – Steve Nisson: There are a lot of books out these on candlestick charting, but almost all of them are derivative of Nisson's tome. It goes through and explains the basis concepts, as well as the most relevant patterns, related to candlestick charting. Unless you really need to know about the "three-drunk-salarymen-rolled-by-the-hooker-in-the-Shinjuku-train-station" pattern, this book is all you will ever need for candlesticks.
Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom – Van Tharp: Yes the title is cheesy and sounds like something from a late-night infomercial, but this book has one of the best overviews of the different types of methodologies you can use to make money in the markets. But more importantly, it shows you how to go about formulating a methodology for trading in the markets. The information on risk and position sizing alone makes the book worthwhile.
The Disciplined Trader & Trading In The Zone – Mark Douglas: These are the definitive books on trading psychology. I know traders who went from perpetual losers to consistent winners after reading these books. The way Douglas climbs into the psyche of a trader is scary, and there is a good chance you will wonder aloud how he managed to plant the hidden camera and microphones that he used to take notes on your trading deficiencies.
Real World Trading:
Pit Bull – Buzz "Buzzy" Schwartz: Extremely dated, but still the only full auto-biography (I believe) of a "Market Wizard." It is a look into the mind and process of an extremely disciplined trader who is still putting up crushing numbers to this day. And despite the fact that he shares James Altucher's somewhat dubious scatological advice regarding "cleaning out the plumbing" before starting the day, it's a good read. I don't even know how this is legal, but you can read the whole book online for free here.
One Good Trade – Mike Bellafiore: If you want to know what it's like trading in the real world of a prop firm, this is the book. But even more so, this book shows you how to focus on process instead profits to become a successful trader. There are a number of great trading lessons in this book, all wrapped around relatable stories (kinda like a blog I know). The writing is a bit rough, but then again it's not meant to be Shakespeare.
General Interest:
Backstage Wall Street: An Insider's Guide to Knowing Who to Trust, Who to Run From, and How to Maximize Your Investments – Joshua Brown: I am cheating here a bit, because as I write this, I am only half-way through the book; but that half alone is strong enough to put it on my list. Sure, once again you can accuse me of "kissing ass" to one of the heavyweights of financial blogging, but really….if you have read Josh's blog for any amount of time, you know he's the real deal. This book pulls no punches, and will probably be looked back upon years from now as the clarion call against the entrenched Wall Street establishment (though I still think most of the Occupy Wall Street crowd are a bunch of douches).
Mean Business – Al Dunlap: Dunlap made his name as a "turn-around" specialist for near-death companies, and this book chronicles some of his most famous successes. I get that Dunlap's career ended in shareholder actions, SEC investigations, and his banning from ever running a public company again. But just because Michael Jackson's final few albums sucked doesn't mean that "Off the Wall" and "Thriller" weren't masterpieces. Dunlap was an asshole to be sure, but often times an asshole is what is needed, and his excesses in restructuring were merely a response to the bloated corporate excesses of the times. It's hard to fool guys like Kerry Packer, Sir James Goldsmith, and the principles at KKR, so "Chainsaw" Al must have been doing something right at some point.
The New Financial Capitalists: KKR and the Creation of Corporate Value – George P. Baker: Love them or hate them, KKR changed the way M&A was done, and left an imprint on corporate financing that is still felt today. It is hard to forget in the wake of the recent credit crisis, that KKR was always responsible, and almost always successful in using debt and leverage to save failing companies and create or unlock value for shareholders and their investors. This is an authorized biography of the company, but done in a truly objective fashion, and highlights how the key to a KKR deal did not so much have to do with the money (debt) that they brought to the table, but the wealth of managerial talent they brought to their target companies.
Trading For A Living – Alexander Elder: This is the "gateway" book that every new trader seems to come through on the road to trading, but I have to say, I have never been a fan of Dr. Elder. It stems for my suspicion that he makes (and has always made) more money from writing about trading and putting on overpriced seminars on trading, than he has from actually trading. In this book he espouses a multiple time frame method that is rudimentary at best and his nod to trading psychology is done better and in more depth by Douglas. The only interesting aspect of this book is his explanation of how trading is NOT a zero sum game, but that is really only worthy of a blog post at most.
The Education of a Speculator – Victor Neiderhoffer: I have a blog friend, who not only is a 100x better trader than I could ever hope to be, but is a connoisseur of art and literature, and even surfs. He is also a friend of Niederhoffer's and thinks highly of him. That is why it pains me to say that "Education…" is probably one of the top 5 worst written books I have ever read. It would be better titled, "Let Me Tell You What A Great Squash Player I Am." And even though I am sure there was meant to be some subtext in his narcissistic stories that relate to trading, it is written in such a purposefully exclusionary way that you can't find it. Since I am part of the "chattering classes" it is probably that Neiderhoffer, a true intellect, is just writing above my level, but unless you are picking this book up on the way to your Nobel Prize luncheon, it's probably best to just skip it.

In Downeast Maine just about every road has a blueberry field somewhere along it. In the spring the fields are green, in the summer a sea of blue, autumn brings reds and purples until finally, they rest under a blanket of white snow.
Fun Fact: Maine produces 99% of the countries wild blueberries.
Here's a link to the University of Maine Cooperative Extension for Wild Maine Blueberries for more info on Maine's wild blueberries and they have a short slideshow with some nice photos of the blueberry fields and a tractor harvester (blueberries are harvested by a tractor harvester or by hand depending on the field).
We love blueberries! The boys eat them everyday if they can. Last year we froze 40 lbs to get us through the winter but we ran out early even with rationing towards the end. Our favorite recipe using fresh blueberries is blueberry pie. Frozen they usually go into smoothies, muffins and of course pancakes.
Perhaps you already have a favorite pancake recipe but if you're looking for one- especially one that incorporates real food (fresh ground flour, kefir…) and traditional methods (soaking) look no further!
1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour, fresh ground if possible (you can use other flours as well if you're gluten free or use sprouted flour if you don't want to soak the flour).
1 1/4 cups kefir (can also use yogurt or cultured buttermilk)
2 eggs
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon baking powder (heaping) (aluminum free)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/8 teaspoon real salt
In a bowl, mix together the flour and kefir; add a bit more flour if mixture seems thin. Cover with a towel and let soak overnight, 8-12 hours. In the morning when ready to prepare, whisk in the remaining ingredients; mixing well. Preheat skillet over medium heat. Pour about ¼ cup of the batter on the skillet. When edges begin to bubble (about 2 minutes), flip to other side. Cook until both sides are golden brown. We serve with raw butter and maple syrup or honey.
These are delicious! I have found that the kefir can be substituted for by yogurt or buttermilk with fantastic results. I have also subbed maple syrup for the honey and almond or grapeseed oil for coconut oil in a pinch.
For blueberry pancakes I sprinkle a few on each one as I cook cause I like even distribution. If the blueberries are frozen I run them under water to help them thaw (no raw spots in the pancakes) and this also gets rid of all that blue that otherwise stains hands and the batter that not so appetizing blue-green color. This works for muffins too.
If you try these and like them please follow the link to Susan's site and let her know how great her recipe is.

So kids do say the darndest things but since I don't yet have any chattering kiddos I get to tell the world all the funny little things that Johnna says! She seriously does say silly things all the time and I always say that I am gonna write them down and then I never do. I guess this is alot of background to say that Johnna just told me that I am "Coco in the cabeza"

We actually have a notebook we for some reason call the "quote wall" where we keep track of all the crazy things we say. The quote that started it all was my shouting randomly "In normal society, I FIT IN!" You should totally keep track of these things. I think they'll bring us a lot of enjoyment 70 years from now when the crazy things we say now seem common place.

Andrea Pirlo was just about to break away from the journalists crowded round him after Italy's defeat of Mexico when one last question was fired his way: "You've played your 100th game at the Maracana, but where's the 200th going to be?"
Usually a man of few words and stern of face, Pirlo allowed himself a smile at the jocular question, aware that he could hardly have produced a better performance on Italy's FIFA Confederations Cup debut. His slightly more effusive team-mates certainly saw it that way.
"We've spent the whole week talking about what it means to play at the Maracana. It's a childhood dream come true for us," Italy centre-half Giorgio Chiellini told FIFA.com on emerging from the dressing room after Italy's 2-1 win.
"Every single one of us feels that way," he added. "And it's fantastic to see this dream become something so special for Pirlo. As a defender and a team-mate of Andrea's in the national side and at Juventus, I couldn't ask for anything more in this life. To look up and see a player like him in front of you is all you can ask for as a defender. You know when you give him the ball that he's going to get the team moving forward. He's like the oil in our engine."
When you see Pirlo in action it's hard not to sit back and enjoy it. I know how that feels because I've been watching him for years.
The fans who flocked to the Maracana on Sunday, most of them Brazilians, would no doubt agree with Chiellini. You did not have to be an Italy fan to appreciate the genius of the 34-year-old on his 100th appearance for his country. Turning in a sensational display, he orchestrated the midfield with his usual aplomb and opened the scoring with a delightful, curling free-kick. Accustomed to watching Pirlo on TV, the crowd were thrilled to see the midfield magician in the flesh and have the opportunity to applaud his wizardry.
That much was clear in the moments leading up to his sumptuous goal. When, after 27 minutes, the referee awarded Italy a free-kick 30 metres out from Jose Corona's goal, the crowd began to chant "Pirlo! Pirlo!", such was their desire to see him stroke the ball home just for them. And when he obliged with a perfectly weighted strike into the top right-hand corner, the supporters responded with a huge roar, many of them deciding there and then to give their allegiance to the Italians for the rest of the game.
"It was great for us to see how the Brazilian fans – the fans of a team who have always been rivals of ours – got behind us," Gianluigi Buffon, another of Pirlo's Juve team-mates, told FIFA.com. "Their loyalties were divided but I don't think it took us long to win them over. And as far as we're concerned, winning over the Maracana is not something that happens every day.
"Obviously there was a very good reason for that. When you see Pirlo in action it's hard not to sit back and enjoy it. I know how that feels because I've been watching him for years. To cap it all, he topped it off with a pearl of a free-kick and when you put it all together, it's only natural to end up getting the crowd's support."
It was only natural as well to see Pirlo walk off with the Budweiser Man of the Match award at the end of the game, far from the first time he has earned such an accolade. The aristocratic Italian took it all in his stride, however. His Maracana masterclass might have had the crowd on its feet, but for this most elegant of playmakers it was just another night's work.

We still don't know what Terminator Salvation's controversial ending will be. But it can't possibly be as controversial as McG's batshit-crazy plans for Terminator 5. Spoilers (sort of) below. Plus a few new pics.
Talking to Film Journal, McG explained what he thinks will happen in his second Terminator film:
I strongly suspect the next movie is going to take place in a [pre-Judgment Day] 2011. John Connor is going to travel back in time and he's going to have to galvanize the militaries of the world for an impending Skynet invasion. They've figured out time travel to the degree where they can send more than [just] one naked entity. So you're going to have hunter killers and transports and harvesters and everything arriving in our time and Connor fighting back with conventional military warfare, which I think is going to be fucking awesome. I also think he's going to meet a scientist that's going to look a lot like present-day Robert Patrick [who famously played the T-1000 in Terminator 2], talking about stem-cell research and how we can all live as idealized, younger versions of ourselves
All I can say, is whoa. I don't even know where to start.
Actually, I do know where to start: throwing out the Terminator series' most iconic rule for time travel — that only living tissue can travel, and anything covering it gets shredded — seems like a really weird notion. If you can send a Hunter-Killer back in time, what can't you send back? At what point do you shred the space-time continuum so much that nothing makes sense any more? Also, according to Terminator 3, Judgment Day happens in 2004. So what moves it forward seven years?
I'm also wondering what happens to make Skynet so desperate, it's willing to invade the past in such a dramatic fashion. I could be wrong, but isn't one of the cornerstones of the series that Skynet treads somewhat carefully about tampering with the past, lest it undo its own rise to power? There could be a clue to the ending of Terminator Salvation in there somewhere — maybe John Connor does something that puts Skynet in a no-win situation?
Or maybe McG's just yanking our chains?
Meanwhile, here are some pics from Yahoo that I don't think we've posted before:

NEW YORK, N.Y. – A recent time slot switch hasn't paid dividends for Fox's lurching "American Idol," which reached a smaller audience last week than for all but one episode of its rookie season in the summer of 2002.
Thursday's edition of "Idol" reached 8.4 million viewers, the Nielsen company said. Once television's most dominant show, last week's results program barely made it into Nielsen's top 20 for the week. Wednesday's show had 9.8 million viewers.
"For a show on that long, there's going to be viewer fatigue," said Brad Adgate, an analyst for Horizon Media.
NBC's "The Voice" has moved past "American Idol" as viewers' favourite music competition show.
Fox a few weeks ago moved Thursday's "Idol" to 9 p.m. ET, although the switch hasn't seemed to affect ratings. Only the July 3, 2002 "Idol" had a smaller audience than last Thursday. Among the 18-to-49-year-old demographic Fox seeks, that was the smallest audience ever.
Fox notes that viewership decline is to be expected for a show on for so long and that, except for one year, the audience has been slipping gradually since 2006. Most longtime programs follow the same trajectory and, even with the slip, "Idol" is still Fox's most popular show.
With "The X-Factor" now off the air, Fox might consider bringing the show back to its roots with judges Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul, Adgate said.
A likely scenario is a reduction in "American Idol" hours on the air. ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," facing a similar decline, condensed the show's twice-a-week schedule to one, and its new season premiere had 15.4 million viewers last week. "Dancing" was the second most-popular show on the air last week, behind only CBS' "NCIS."
CBS won the week in primetime, averaging 8 million viewers. ABC had 6.4 million viewers, NBC had 6.3 million, Fox had 4.3 million, Univision had 2.6 million, the CW had 1.7 million, ION Television had 1.18 million and Telemundo had 1.15 million.
With the help of the NCAA men's basketball tournament, TBS was the week's most popular cable network, averaging 2.52 million in primetime, followed by TNT's 2.47 million. USA had 1.96 million, History had 1.88 million and the Disney Channel had 1.73 million.
NBC's "Nightly News" topped the evening newscasts with an average of 9.3 million viewers. ABC's "World News" was second with 8.3 million and the "CBS Evening News" had 7.1 million viewers.
For the week of March 17-23, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewership: "NCIS," CBS, 17.11 million; "Dancing With the Stars," ABC, 15.44 million; "NCIS: Los Angeles," CBS, 14.21 million; "The Voice" (Monday), NBC, 13.52 million; "The Walking Dead," AMC, 13.47 million; "The Voice" (Tuesday), NBC, 13.29 million; "60 Minutes," CBS, 11.31 million; "The Black List," NBC, 10.97 million; "Person of Interest," CBS, 10.94 million; "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," CBS, 10.2 million.
ABC is owned by The Walt Disney Co. CBS is owned by CBS Corp. CW is a joint venture of Warner Bros. Entertainment and CBS Corp. Fox is owned by 21st Century Fox. NBC and Telemundo are owned by Comcast Corp. ION Television is owned by ION Media Networks.

Royals Finish Season With 4-1 Win Over White Sox
CHICAGO - Bruce Chen pitched four-hit ball into the seventh inning and Kansas City beat the Chicago White Sox 4-1 on Sunday in the finale of the Royals' best season in 24 years.
Kansas City won three of four in Chicago and went 17-10 in September for its most successful month of the season. The Royals' 86-76 record was their best mark since they went 92-70 in 1989.
Chen's sharp outing put a damper on what might have been the last major league game for White Sox captain Paul Konerko, who is eligible for free agency and isn't sure if he will play again next year. The veteran first baseman is second in franchise history with 427 homers and 1,361 RBIs, and third with 2,249 hits.

In our first Snacktaku Slider we covered breakfast with syrup-infused muffins. Now it's time to explore what those amazing food photographers can do with a little off-color roast beef.
I spent a year working for Arby's when I was 18, using my natural charm and the fact that I had no business whatsoever working in the fast food industry to catapult through the ranks from cashier to slicer, the man that handles the meat. We'd lug the plastic sacks of meatish-substance from the walk-in fridge to the oven, tear the substance free of its prison and shove it into the heat box before it had a chance to scream.
One time I accidentally stuck my finger all the way through one of these roasts. The several hundred times I did it after that don't count as accidents.
I'm not sure how the meat in the photograph has such clean edges and even color. My guess is they sent someone down the street to the grocery store to get some real roast beef. That or Photoshop—this meat substance never looks this good in person.
Tug the slider left and right to explore the delusional world of Arby's marketing.

Susan O'Dwyer Brinchman: Correcting the record on Whitehead, Wrights
The op-ed piece by Doug McIntyre, "Wronging the Wrights," is a gross misrepresentation of the evidence concerning Gustave Whitehead and an insult to the state of Connecticut, its governor and Legislature.
I have been involved with Whitehead research since 1963, when my father, William J. O'Dwyer, found photos of some of his early planes, and began a research project that is ongoing.
The mistaken facts in the piece need to be corrected and an apology issued. They are as follows:
"Acting upon the sketchiest of evidence, the state of Connecticut has inexplicably chosen to strip Wilbur and Orville Wright of their rightful title as the fathers of heavier-than-air flight. By accepting as fact the highly dubious 1901 `flights' of Bridgeport's Gustave Whitehead, the Nutmeg State has debased history, diminished one of the great achievements of the 20th century and muddied the waters historians work so diligently to clear."
Which historians worked to clear the waters? Certainly not Smithsonian's, under contract to the Wright heirs not to acknowledge that anyone else flew first. Certainly not their head curator Tom Crouch, from Dayton, Ohio, personal friend of the Wright family. Certainly not any historians making money off books about the Wrights.
The waters were muddied, for profit and fame, starting in 1911, when the Wrights' paid subrosa employee, William Hammer, first caused them to be recognized as "first in flight," by having this published in the World Almanac 1911.
Before that, under Hammer's guidance, they were recognized for contributions to flight, by the Aero Club of America. Whitehead's achievements, published before that time in more than a hundred newspapers and journals, were ignored. There are witnesses who also place the Wrights in Whitehead's shop on several occasions before the Wrights flew and after Whitehead did. The Wrights' photo evidence shows 18 inches off the ground for a failed flight, which didn't surface for nearly five years and Wrights' witnesses, who never filed affidavits, are in conflict with the later Wright claims.
The waters were muddied further when the Smithsonian signed a contractual agreement in 1948, giving up the right to recognize anyone else as flying before the Wrights, in order to obtain and keep the Wright Flyer as an exhibit. Over the years, highly placed friends of the Wrights helped see to it that history gave them the "first in flight" credit. Whitehead had no such friends in high places.
"As Orville Wright said during a previous effort to rob the brothers of their just due, `The truth cannot withstand a lie aided by continual propaganda.'"
Indeed, I would agree that the truth will be outed. In this case, unfortunately for the Wrights, the truth is that a legend has been built up which has been difficult to remove. For instance, following Wilbur's death in 1912, Orville began claiming the title of being "first in flight" on Dec. 17, 1903, whereas before Wilbur died, Wilbur was the one credited for this, with Orville's flights of the day deemed failures. The Smithsonian contract credits Orville today. The truth cannot be held down, people want truth in history, not contrived legends, such as we have been spoon-fed concerning the Wrights and first flight.
"By signing HB 6671 into law, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy has added legitimacy to a lie."
That is McIntyre's opinion and it is demonstrably incorrect and a direct insult to the governor. McIntyre has played fast and loose with the "facts" in order to substantiate it.
"The specious claims made by Australian aviation `historian' John Brown somehow buffaloed the editors of `Jane's: All the World's Aircraft,' and that blunder is the foundation of falsehood upon which Connecticut legislators have built this monument to misinformation. Brown's so-called evidence wouldn't pass the smell test for a high school history term paper."
Once again, incorrect, it was the preponderance of all the evidence that convinced "Jane's: All the World's Aircraft" editors. They also looked at witness statements, nearly a score of these, concerning Whitehead flights before 1903.
"Citing three `eye-witness' accounts published at the time of the alleged Whitehead flights, Brown neglected to mention the story originated with Stanley Yale Beach, the son of the publisher of `Scientific American' and a financial backer of Whitehead. He also failed to note when researchers tried to confirm the Whitehead story in the 1930s, of the three witnesses, one had died, a second could not be located and the third, James Dickie, emphatically denied seeing Whitehead fly and said the story was a hoax."
The account of Whitehead's flight in 1901 did not originate with Beach, who did not back Whitehead at the time of his flights in 1901 or 1902. It was later that Beach's father began to partially back Whitehead, likely as a result of the earlier successful flights, but it appears only to build Beach's designs, which failed. Of the five (not three) eye-witnesses to one of the four flights of August 14, 1901, only one denial occurred. Dickie, who had a grudge against Whitehead over money issues, is on record refusing to credit him. There were two others for the flight described in the full page article in the Bridgeport Sunday Herald of Aug. 18, 1901 -- and they had died by the time journalist and educator Stella Randolph (not Zahm) investigated and took formal affidavits from more than a dozen witnesses to Whitehead's flights.
"Gustave Whitehead deserves to be honored as a serious aviation pioneer who invested his time and talents to try and tackle the great dream of mankind, human flight. But to believe Whitehead actually flew 1.5 miles at an altitude of 50 feet on Aug. 14, 1901, 28 months before the Wright's four epochal flights of Dec. 17, 1903, is to explain away why he never flew publicly again."
I don't know where this incorrect information is coming from, but the Wrights' so-called flights of Dec. 17, 1903 are based on their say-so, with information that changed over time. For instance, all four flights had control problems, the first three were considered failures (both of Orville's and the first of Wilbur's) and the last flight of the day was the only one considered to be a possible success, but it landed with damage, and was for only 500 feet, taking off from a rail that began on a higher point, a sand dune, and required wind to fly. Witnesses under oath testified to Whitehead's flights on Aug. 14, 1903, which numbered four on that day and more later in the fall and in January, 1902.
"He never told anyone he flew before the Wrights. In fact, he abandoned his own 1901 designs and turned his attention to gliders and helicopters."
That is a false statement. Read the witnesses' testimonies, given under oath, concerning the flights and public statements Whitehead made in the newspapers and journals of the era. After 1903, he was unable to sustain the expense of fully developing his own designs, which he considered not to be in final form, and turned to designing engines and planes for others while continuing to work toward a practical plane, which he wanted to be able to rise vertically from the ground, like a helicopter or Harrier. Whitehead never found a funder to allow him to develop his own designs fully again, but he did contribute his early success, knowledge and engines to others of his era.
"Whitehead made a game try of it, but he is no more the father of flight than other early experimenters, such as Percy Pilcher, Otto Lilienthal, Augustus Herring, Ocatve Chanute, John Montgomery, Alberto Santos-Dumont, Samuel Langely or Alexander Graham Bell."
This is incorrect, as these others did not make successful, controlled, sustained, powered flights and Whitehead did, predating the Wrights by two years.
"The tortured tale of Gustave Whitehead comes from another aviation pioneer's attempt to invalidate the Wright Brothers' patents."
The above sentence is an attempt to circumvent the witnesses and all the evidence for Whitehead's successes. It is a myth constructed by those who began to defend the Wrights' "title" against the revelations concerning the early flights of Whitehead by Stella Randolph in the 1930's. Zahm had nothing to do with her research. The Zahm-Whitehead connection is part of the defensive tactics of those who would keep the Wright legend in place.
"Glenn Curtis was a rival aircraft manufacturer and aggressively searched for pre-Wright aircraft he could use to convince aviation-ignorant courts they were capable of flight prior to Kitty Hawk. Eventually he settled on Langley's failed `aerodrome,' but Whitehead's story was kept alive by a dedicated Wright-hater, Albert Zahm, part of the Curtis team. Eventually his story appeared in two books, `The Lost Flights of Gustave Whitehead' (1937) and `Before the Wright Brothers Flew' (1966). Both books were written by Stella Randolph based on material collected by Zahm."
This is another falsehood. Stella Randolph conducted her own original research and would not release it to Dr. Alfred Zahm, who was interested. Dr. Zahm, far from a crank, from 1916 to 1929 was the Director of the Aerodynamical Laboratory of the U.S. Navy, and Guggenheim Chair of Aeronautics at the Library of Congress (1929-1946). Zahm, a highly respected man of his era, designed and built the first significant wind tunnel in the United States (1901) and was awarded the Laetare and Mendel medals for significant achievements in the field of aeronautics. The Library of Congress became a limited repository for information about Whitehead, following Randolph's investigations. In 1945, Dr. Zahm called for more research to be done and found it possible that Whitehead had flown in 1901, in his Early Powerplane Fathers publication.
"Wilbur and Orville Wright were life-long diarists, prolific letter writers and talented amateur photographers. They left a voluminous paper trail documenting each step they took on the path to unlocking the secrets of flight. In 1953, the Library of Congress published the `Papers of Wilbur & Orville Wright' in two volumes. Anyone who has examined the record has no doubt the Wrights deserve the title as fathers of powered flight."
But what you are saying is that we should trust the Wrights' "say-so," that the proof is in what they wrote. This is unacceptable. Also, what Orville claimed and is now credited with -- that he was first in successful flight -- is in conflict with what the Wright brothers originally wrote, concerning the four flights, as well. McIntyre doesn't seem to know that they hired William Hammer to get them credit for first flight in 1911, to help them in their lawsuits.
"The state of Connecticut has thrown in with cranks and frauds and contributed to the debasing of actual knowledge in a cheap attempt to secure local bragging rights over Ohio and North Carolina. In doing so, Gov. Malloy and the Legislature have diminished two great American heroes, Wilbur and Orville Wright, and embarrassed the state in the eyes of anyone who has bothered to examine the evidence."
This is an uninformed insult to the state of Connecticut, its governor and Legislature that requires an immediate apology. They are correctly recognizing an authentic aviation pioneer with a mountain of evidence that says he flew several years before the Wrights, multiple times.
"Doug McIntyre is a columnist for the Los Angeles Daily News, television & Film writer/producer, and host of `McIntyre in the Morning' on KABC radio in Los Angeles. He has written about the Wrights for `American History Illustrated.'"
That says it all. A columnist from Los Angeles, with no access to original research, making money off the Wright legend, upset at the Wrights' claim being challenged. Last but not least, wrong on his facts, which he should have checked.

Tucked away amid open, gently rolling countryside and surrounded by vineyards, Heilbronn is much-loved for its beautiful location on the river Neckar, its picturesque vistas and historical buildings.
The river Neckar plays a big part in everyday life in Heilbronn. There is even a theatre ship, the only floating stage in the whole of southern Germany. You can discover Heilbronn and the surrounding area on one of the many riverboats that operate on the Neckar. The Heilbronn taxi boat is available for exclusive sightseeing tours of the smaller waterways and the inland port, one of largest anywhere in Germany. Even in their leisure time, locals are drawn to the waterside. Heilbronn's lush riverbank promenade is ideal for inline skating, cycling or leisurely strolls. And in summer, 'Hip Island' with its sandy beach and bars is perfect for whiling away the hours.
The home of Käthchen
The Neckar – and Käthchen: the eponymous heroine of Heinrich von Kleist's medieval play is the second great passion of the people of Heilbronn. Exactly what Käthchen has to do with the town is not really known, but that doesn't seem to trouble the locals too much, because she is credited with making the town famous. Every two years, they choose their own 'Käthchen' plus two assistants at a festive ball. The Käthchenhaus, a large Gothic stone house from the 14th century, only received its name in 1843 when it was christened as such by travel guides. The town hall also merits a visit, not only as a fine example of early modern architecture, but also for its ornamental astronomical clock. Created by Isaak Habrecht in 1580, this has an inner circle showing the days of the week and their corresponding heavenly bodies: the sun, the moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn. Months appear in the middle circle, symbolised by the twelve signs of the zodiac, and the days, weeks and months are represented in the outer circle. The time is told every hour in a mini mechanical miracle. During a memorable spectacle, trumpet-playing angels turn on their places and count out the chimes, gilded rams lock horns, and a rooster crows from his perch.
Of wine and water
Equally unforgettable could be an evening spent imbibing excellent wine at the various inns and taverns in the town. With over 500 hectares of vineyards, Heilbronn is one of the most important wine-growing areas in Germany. There are also 50 or so fountains at which the water flows as freely as the wine.

Ryan McGinley is the latest artist to be hit with a copyright lawsuit, Rachel Corbett reports in Artnet. Janine Gordon, aka Jah Jah, an artist and rapper who was included in the 2002 Whitney Biennial is suing McGinley, along with Levi Straus & Co. Inc., Jose Freire, Team Gallery Inc., Agnes B. Worldwide, Inc., and Peter Hay Halpert Fine Art. Gordon claims that for the past decade McGinley has been infringing on her work, which focuses on "risk-taking & thrill-seeking in various subcultural factions in society," and takes the form of various media, including photography. Gordon is seeking $30,000 per infringement. In 2005 Janine Gordon also sued Dr. Dre and 50 Cent for copyright infringement, claiming that her songs "Poppin' At Da Club," "Hardcore" and "Crazy Dreams," among others – were used without her permission on 50 Cent's album "The Massacre."
Click on over to Artnet to take a look at the photographs that Gordon claims McGinley copied and judge for yourselves, although to me the comparison itself seems irrelevant. But beyond it's reportage, Corbett's article is a fun read for bits like this one:
McGinley's guilt was compounded, at least in Gordon's mind, in 2003, when she ran into him at a PS1 opening and he responded with "a fearful gasp and speedy retreat into the crowd,†according to the complaint.
Hee. Or this quote from Gordon:
"This is an art world travesty, when artists can freely steal from another artist for 10 years and be praised, paid and dance in the sun all day,†Gordon said in an email to Artnet News, adding that her prints go for $5,000 while those of her younger, more successful counterpart might go for $20,000."
It's that "dance in the sun all day" jab that'll keep me laughing for the rest of the day.
Regardless, Gordon's claims seem pretty specious. Seriously, can you really claim to hold copyright on the idea of bodies flying gracefully through the air? Much as I'd love to see a moratorium placed on such imagery, this is obviously not the way to go about it. Looks like Richard Prince's loss may be the gain of artists like Gordon, and everyone's lawyers, of course.

"If you believe what you like in the Gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the Gospel you believe, but yourself."
"What is perfection in love? Love your enemies in such a way that you would desire to make them your brothers … For so did He love, Who hanging on the Cross, said 'Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.'" (Luke 23:34)
For many people today, practical atheism is the normal rule of life...If this attitude becomes a general existential position, then freedom no longer has any standards, then everyting is possible and permissible.
Celibacy is always, shall we say, an affront to what man normally thinks. It is something that can be done, and is only credible, if there is a God and if celibacy is my doorway into the kingdom of God.
Assuredly, the word of truth can be painful and uncomfortable. But it is the way to holiness, to peace, and to inner freedom. A pastoral approach which truly wants to help the people concerned must always be grounded in the truth. In the end, only the truth can be pastoral.
In a week which contained a lot of major news from the secular world, it might seem odd that my highlights are to do with an event that didn't even take this week - the Chartres pilgrimage. My primary concern is for the Church, for only the Church can save the world, and with that in mind I shall go on to address some of the events on the Chartes pilgrimage.
It is rather significant that the Chartres pilgrimage has become so famous. I had not even heard of it until som 4 years ago or so, but I shall have to agree with Michael Matt that it is one of the most significant events taking place in the Church today, although in his case he plainly states that it is the most significant, with which I do not quite agree. Along with its increasing profile, the mass has attracted higher profiles of celebrants. Last year it was Cardinal Raymond Burke, who is probably the closest thing we have right now to a champion of the faith. When Cardinal Burke celebrated though, it was without a position in the Curia, having been unceremoniously kicked out of his position as the head of the Apostolic Signatura (the Church's highest court) so that Bergoglio could railroad his full-throttled assault on marriage through easy annulments and sacreligious Communion.
This year's celebrant, therefore, would have to count as the most high-profile yet. In Cardinal Sarah, we had the head of the Congregation of Divine Worship, the man in charge of not only the Mass but the administration of all sacraments. Yes, there are bureaucratically speaking other higher-profiled cardinals - the secreatary of state comes to mind - and even with regards to Catholicity the prefect for the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith ranks higher. However, in his capacity as head of worship, he ranks second only to the pope, so one is entitled to say that they don't come much higher than Cardinal Sarah. Also in terms of standing up for the faith, Cardinal Sarah is one of only 2 cardinals under the age of 80 - the other being Cardinal Burke - who have consistently stood up against efforts to water down the faith, or to outright corrupt the faith (however tepidly).
It was therefore with great sadness that I read a piece written by Peter Kwasniewski titled Traditional Clergy: Please Stop Making "Pastoral Adaptations". It quickly became clear that the piece was about the final High Mass at the Chartres pilgrimage, of which Cardinal Sarah had been the main celebrant. Among the 'pastoral adaptations' on show was reading both the Epistle and the Gospel in French, instead of Latin, and not bothering with having the proper orientations when reading Sacred Scripture, instead turning towards the people, and not even bothering to chant but rather speaking it out instead. These were grave liturgical abuses. It is unclear who was in charge of these abuses - the master of ceremony, the local bishop, or the cardinal are all potential agents. What cannot be denied, however, was that in perhaps the most prominent Tridentine Mass in the world today, we were being confronted with a very well-orchestrated Novusordoisation, and that ought to trouble us all.
If there is anything that the Novus Ordo has taught us, it is that slippery slopes are real, and once embarked upon one will quickly find oneself close to the bottom. It is therefore inexcusable that at the most prominent Tridentine Mass the celebrants would embark upon the same slippery slope which led us to where we are in NOChurch today, i.e., little if any reverence at Mass, with priests who treat the Mass as if it is their plaything, and laity who froth in anger at hearing that there are authentic Catholic alternatives. Another point that Dr. Kwasniewski made which is worth repeating is that Latin is the language of the Church, and the Chartres pilgrimage is the most international pilgrimage that we have today. It therefore makes little sense to have the readings in French when many of the attendees will be non-French. They could, if they so wished, read out in Latin according to the rubrics and then afterwards read in French (which is allowed by Ecclesia Dei, it turns out, although even that is a slippery slope) but that's not what they did. In other words, I am quite certain that whoever made the decision did it knowing full well that it was against the liturgical laws and against the spirit of the Tridentine Mass, yet did it anyway, perhaps to force the point that the Tridentine Mass has to get along with the Novus Ordo mass.
This being NOChurch times, of course, not everyone was upset. As I have previously mentioned, Catholics as a whole have lost the ability to get angry at anything directed against the faith. In "WHEREIN ROBERT CARDINAL SARAH GETS IT RIGHT AND FATHER Z DOESN'T " (I've no idea why he insists on capital letters for his headlines), a response to Fr. John Zuhlsdorf's Why we Say The Black and Do The Red, which was in turn a commentary on what Dr. Kwasniewski had wrriten , Fr. Allan McDonald chimed in that Cardinal Sarah was right to make adaptations in order to get people to feel at home, once again showing that the Novus Ordo has poisoned the minds of even many of those who say the Tridentine Mass occasionally. We don't adapt the Mass to ourselves; rather we adapt ourselves to the Mass, and the arguments he was making were well-adressed in Dr. Kwasniewski's original piece, which it seems blew completely over his head.
The best commentary on Fr. McDonald's piece came from Henry , who wrote:
A single instance of vernacular abuse, as at Chartres, is not a big deal. No doubt God will survive the desacralization of a couple of moments in this one Mass, and the...

A further twelve folios are detached, and also in the collection. Composed by Ottoman court historian Sayyid Luqman-i `Ashuri, this is an extensive survey of Islamic history, compiled from many earlier sources. According to the preface, Luqman commissioned the painter Sun'i to illustrate his text, and presented the finished work to Habeshi Mehmed Agha (d.1590), head of the Topkapi palace eunuchs. The text begins by reviewing the cosmos, describing heaven, hell and the regions of the earth, before presenting a survey of Islam's prophets from Adam to the Prophet Muhammad, and then of subsequent dynasties of rulers up to the Ottomans themselves, concluding with Murad III (d.1595).
